Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This offering consists of three structures containing four one-bedroom units, configured in a campus-style layout. The property pairs a 1940 stucco duplex with two detached cottages dating from the 1910s and 1880s. Each unit includes its own private deck and in-unit laundry, and the layout is designed to feel more like standalone homes than traditional apartments. Two rear cottages provide additional private outdoor space and parking. One cottage will be delivered vacant, while three units are currently leased.

The property is located at 5154 Shafter Avenue in Oakland, CA 94618, in RM-4 zoning. Rockridge BART is approximately 0.6 miles away, with College Avenue, Temescal Alley, and Whole Foods nearby. Tenants are responsible for their own gas and electric.

For buyers or operators seeking a small residential income property with individual outdoor space and separate home-like living, the configuration supports a variety of strategies. With one unit available at delivery, the property can accommodate new leasing immediately, a repositioning plan for the vacant unit, or owner-occupancy alongside rental income from the leased units.

  • Four 1‑bedroom units in three structures: a 1940 duplex plus two detached cottages from the 1910s and 1880s
  • Each unit has private deck space and in‑unit laundry; rear cottages also provide parking and private yards
  • 3 units are leased at about $7,750/month (about $93,000/year); 4th cottage will be delivered vacant
